On January 12, I went to a Junior Tennis Team in
Elk Grove. This was my first time going to this team. I got there
at 1:30 and it was the most embarrassing time of my life. I saw my tennis
coach and asked him where I should go, and he said go where all the other
kids are. I looked around and saw that there were hundreds of them.
They were all exercising. My tennis coach told me to go and exercise with
them. Finally we all separated into 3 different groups. I was in
the regular tennis ball group. I felt so embarrassed because I was new
and I didn't know anybody. When I entered the court, everyone
just stared at me. I just wished that the tennis team had ended already.
When we were ranked, I was placed last place. I was the
worst out of all of them. But fortunately, I made one friend. We
first warmed up, stretched, and then we went onto to practicing doing our
forehand, backhand, and serving. Next, I played matches against two
people. One of the people was named Josh. I missed every serve and
missed every shot. Unfortunately I lost both of them. The first
score of the game was 1-4 and the second score of the game was 4-6. We I finished my matches, I played against
random people. Finally my mom came to pick me up at 3:30. This was
a good experience for me and I know I will get better. Practice makes
perfect!!!!!!!
It can be really hard to go somewhere and not know anyone, especially when you have to play in front of people. You have a good attitude though. Everyone has to start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry if you are not good at tennis right now. It is a hard sport to learn and play, but over time you will get the hang of it.
